Fan Sues Pacers, O'Neal, Johnson

Charles Haddad, the fan that came out onto the court, only to be beaten do by Ron Artest, Anthony Johnson, and Jermaine O'Neal, has sued Johnson, O'Neal, and the Pacers organization.

"Before he could get up, and while he was still face-down, (Haddad) was jumped upon by ... Johnson and pounded repeatedly in the back of his neck, head (and) kidneys," the suit said.

The myth goes that the robber that fell threw the skylight of the house he was breaking into, won $5 million in a lawsuit from prison for the injuries sustained when he hurt himself. The glass was at fault.

What is different about this case? Anthony, and O'Neal started swinging after Haddad was done threatening Artest. Does it make him right for being on the court? No, but that's the law. You have to abide by the law. There is no room in our judicial system for revenge. I'm sure this will be drug out for years.
